We are thrilled to announce the return of our annual scholarship and summer internship this year, made possible with support from the Principal® Foundation. The Charlotte Pride Scholarship & Internship Program, Generously Supported by the Principal® Foundation, aims to improve economic mobility for LGBTQ and ally college students from the Charlotte metro area by funding college scholarships and a summer internship opportunity. Recipients will be eligible for up to $10,000 for the 2024-2025 school year at an accredited two or four-year college.
We are expanding our advertising opportunities for 2024 and you can be a part of it. From our magazine to Reel Out Charlotte: the Queen City’s Annual LGBTQ Film Festival, there are several opportunities to show your Pride and advertise with us. Check out our 2024 media kit to learn more.
Relive the magic of 2023!
